Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabric but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difficult or impossible to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric in especially red and blue often contain a lot of excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing/embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

Controlling sewing speedYou can control the sewing speed on your machine in two ways; with your foot control and with the speed control slide on your MEGA QUILTER™.

Foot controlOn your MEGA QUILTER™ you can control the sewing speed by using your foot control. The harder you press the foot control, the faster the machine runs.If you press the foot control all the way, the machine runs at the maximum speed set by the speed control slide.

Note: Make sure you have the right type of foot control for your machine. Foot Control model YC-485 is used for the MEGA QUILTER™.

Speed control slideWith the speed control slide on your MEGA QUILTER™, you can change the sewing speed to suit your needs. For instance when making freehand quilt designs/stippling, lower the sewing speed to avoid skipped stitches.

To raise the sewing speed, slide the bar to the right.

To lower the sewing speed, slide the bar to the left.

11

Bobbin winding buttonPress the bobbin winding button on your MEGA QUILTER™ to wind the bobbin. The light above the button will light up while you are winding the bobbin. When the bobbin is full, the MEGA QUILTER™ will automatically stop and the bobbin light will be turned off. Alternatively, press the button again to stop bobbin winding.

Note: With your MEGA QUILTER™ you can wind the bobbin while sewing.

Thread CutterThe thread cutter button trims the top and bobbin thread. After trimming the threads you can continue sewing without having to pull the bobbin thread to the top.

Note: If you are using a thread thicker than 30 wt, use the thread cutter on the side. You cannot use the foot control or the Needle Up/Down while you are trimming the threads.

Needle Up/DownThe Needle Up/Down function is useful when you are turning a corner on your quilt. Press the Needle Up/Down button to bring the needle bar up or down. When the needle is down the red indicator above the button will light up. When the needle is up the green indicator will light up. Your MEGA QUILTER™ will stop with the needle up or down depending on which light is switched on. After using the Thread Cutter your MEGA QUILTER™ will always stop with the needle in the up position.

How to use the Free-motion footThe Free-motion foot can be used when stippling or freehand quilting your quilt.

1. Replace the standard needle plate with the darning plate (A).

2. Attach the Free-motion foot to the presser bar with the lever over the needle clamp.

3. Start to sew. Always test sew on a piece of scrap fabric.

4. Adjust the speed control to a comfortable speed for you.

29

Getting started

Stitch-in-the-DitchOne way to hold the quilt top, batting and backing together is using the "Stitch-in-the-Ditch" method of quilting. Stitching-in-the-ditch means stitching in the seams in the quilt blocks.

• Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins – starting from the center of your quilt and working outward. Place a pin about every 6 – 8 inches (15–20 cm).

• To begin quilting, start sewing from the middle of the quilt and continue sewing outward. Starting from the center and sewing outward will help keep layers in place. Plan which seams you will actually stitch in. This stitching will not only hold the quilt together it will also create the pattern on the quilt back. You do not need to follow every seam in the quilt, sew every 3 – 4 inches to keep the quilt in place. Of course you can sew more to create a more decorative pattern for the back.

Note: Always test sew on scrap fabric before starting to sew to make sure your stitching is balanced before you start quilting your piece.

QuiltingQuilting is a traditional technique. A quilt consists of three layers, two layers of fabric with a layer of batting sandwiched between.

30

A

Getting started

Free-motion StipplingFree-motion Stippling not only keeps the top, batting and backing together, but it also adds texture and interest to your quilt.

1. Replace the standard needle plate with the darning plate (A).

2. Attach the extension table to your MEGA QUILTER™.

3. Attach the Free-motion foot.

4. Prepare your quilt by pin basting through all layers with safety pins – starting from the center of your quilt and working outward. Place a pin about every 10–12 inches (25–30 cm).

5. Practice stippling on scraps of fabric and batting. When the feed dogs are covered, you move the fabric to determine the stitch length. Sewing with a constant speed will help to keep the stitches even. You may lower the speed control slide in order to help make the stitches even.

6. Begin near the center of your quilt. Take one stitch and pull the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt. Take a few stitches right next to one another to secure the threads. Now move the quilt so that your stitching creates scrolls and swirls.
